About the A&K Mk46 SPW M249 SAW:
The A&K Mk46 is a variant of the M249 Special Purpose Weapon (SPW) that USSOCOM adopted, which was primarily used by the US Navy SEALs. The SPW version of the M249, which ultimately was the forefather to the Mk46 version used by USSOCOM, initially removed a bunch of unnecessary stuff (weight) from the gun, such as the carry handle / barrel changing handle, M16/M4 Magazine insertion well, and pintle, vehicle mounting lugs. The mk46 version has a thicker fluted barrel, which is slightly longer than the original M249 Para barrel. The gun also has a 1913 style rail on the feed tray cover for mounting an optic as well as a 1913 forend assembly, which actually has 6 rails, which can be seen in the images above. The top 1913 upper rail system’s side rails mounted at 3 and 9 o’clock are inline with the barrel and are a better candidate for side mounting lasers. This version has the adjustable shoulder stock vs the M249 Fixed Stock. This will allow for better storage and a better fit for all player sizes as the length of pull can be adjusted. It uses the 200 Round Belt Plastic Ammo box style to hold 2,500 Rounds of Airsoft BBs. The box magazine is detachable, though if you wanted to carry additional box magazines for the immersion. However it’s not necessary to remove the box magazine from the weapon to reload it or replace the batteries. The side of the box magazine can be pried open like the real box magazine and an entire bottle of BBs can be poured into the box magazine. You will need batteries, and a nice battery charger to get started.
